As a descendant of the Lan family, it is not meaningful to come to the ancestor’s open base for pilgrimage

Lanjia Gucuo is located at No. 48 Yutian Road, Yutian Village, Ligang Township, Pingtung County. It was built in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty (about 1723, the first year of Yongzheng) [1]. It was built by Lan Yunjin, the ancestor of Lanjia I of Ligang. It has a history of 290 years and covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 pings. The imitation Baroque architecture, despite several meal repairs, is still quite large. It is one of the ten sceneries of historical buildings in Pingtung County [1]. The descendants of the Lan family, whose lineages stretch and are scattered all over the world, use the Lunar New Year to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors every year. Pioneer pioneer In the sixty years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1721), Lan Tingzhen, chief soldier of Nan'ao, Guangdong, and his brother Lan Dingyuan came to Taiwan to solicit Zhu Yigui. After the rebellion of Zhu Yigui settled, the Lan family arranged for some tribes to settle here [2]. Taiwan's first settled ancestor Lan Yunjin (the eldest son of Lan Dingyuan) immigrated Aligang (now known as Ligang Township), which also became the beginning of the Hans' reclamation of the Pingtung Plains. The eldest son of the Lan Dingyuan family has vigorously cultivated around Ali Port since Lan Yunjin moved to Ali Port, and has finally become the premier large reclamation household of Ali Port. It seems to be the most prominent family in the Ali port area and has a great influence on local affairs. Rich family Until the time of Lan Dingyuan's fifth son Sun Lan Jianyuan (nicknamed "Ma Tian"), the Lan family still owned more than 700 land, and the sugar farms in Ali Port and nearby areas were owned by the Lan family. The Lanjia became a Ligang family, and later operated the sugar department, rice grain, and sugar and rice suburbs. In the fifteen years of Daoguang (1835), Lan Jianyuan once presided over the construction of Ali Port City, which is more than 160 years old. Today, Ali Port City has been demolished, leaving only a stone monument in Li Port Park . At that time, the city was built to prevent robbers. It was related to the harassment of Lee in the twelfth year of Daoguang (1832), and Ali port was ravaged by guest justice. The wall of Ali Port City is surrounded by thorn bamboo, and the city gate is built of coral reefs. There are two-foot deep river trenches in the wall. The soldiers patrol the river trenches as walkways. There are four gates in east, west, south and north, with a distance of two kilometers from east to west and 1.5 kilometers from south to north [3]. The eighth generation of the blue family, Sun Lan Gaochuan (1872-1940), purchased a large amount of land to plant sugarcane gardens (the land range up to now Kaohsiung County), founded the Taiwan Commercial Bank (now the predecessor of the first bank) [4] Taiwan's well-known family. Until the surrender of World War II in Japan and the defeat of the National Government to Taiwan, it was still the tycoon of Ali Port. Qinan Ancient Road exported sugar and rice to the Tainan Prefecture for the Lan family. Lingding [5]. Wikipedia

The exact date when the Lanjia Ancient House was first built is unclear.

Years); but his father, Lan Dingyuan, died in CE 1733, and Lan Yunjin did not settle in Taiwan until 3 years after his filial piety. After being framed by others, Emperor Yongzheng ordered his property to be confiscated, and his family members in the Aligang area of ​​Taiwan also turned low-key. It was not until the death of Emperor Yongzheng that the unjust prison was solved. During the Qianlong period, the Lan family recovered its reputation), so Lan Yunjin settled down and built This house should be after the first year of Qianlong (CE 1736); conservatively, the Lanjia Ancient House was built in the first year of Qianlong, but not later than 20 years of Qianlong, and the time fell between CE 1735 and 1755. The main building materials are all from Zhangzhou, Fujian. The layout is a traditional southern Fujian-style courtyard. The foundation is a nine-pack and 52-entry structure. The main hall is wide and five-bay, and there are corridors between the rooms. It is convenient for people in the house to come and go. In the rain, because of successive expansions from generation to generation, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, there had been three advances and three protection dragons, and the scale was as if it were. In the 12th year of Taisho (CE 1923), it was learned that Prince Hirohito was coming to Taiwan for inspection. Lan Gaochuan, the eighth-generation grandson of the Lan family (CE 1872-1940), and his younger brother Lan Gaoquan, in order to welcome the arrival of Prince Hirohito, The old house was rebuilt and became its current appearance. On April 22 of that year, Crown Prince Hirohito did visit Pingtung Station and Taiwan Sugar Co., Ltd.'s Ato Factory (Pingtung Sugar Factory), but whether he visited here is not clearly recorded in the literature. During this renovation, Lagoon River demolished the original main hall and built the most popular contemporary historical style building. The architectural pattern is embossed and the entrance is prominent. There is a huge triangular gable on the top, which contains decorations of medals and flowers and plants. There is also a shell-shaped decoration on the top. The eight ends of the building are decorated with spheres on the parapet wall. ; Most of the columns in the exterior of the building use Tatsuno-style red and white square pillars, and the pillars at the entrance are three-pillar corner pillars. Both sides of the square pillars are decorated with scrolled Ionic order. There is a semi-outdoor corridor on the front of the building. The pillars on the side of the corridor are replaced by corbels. The red brick pillars of the corridor are equipped with stone-washed railings. The main entrance is imitating the traditional three-closed six-door style. The building has two exteriors. There are also two big bird treads (rain shelters) on each side, thunder pattern decoration is used on the bracket, and two ventilation holes are opened near the ground below to maintain air circulation. The history of the development of the Lan family in Ligang can be traced back to the 60th year of Kangxi (CE 1721) when the Zhu Yigui incident occurred, when the Guangdong Nanao Commander Lan Tingzhen (1664-1730) and his cousin Lan Dingyuan (1680-1733) were ordered to come to Taiwan to encircle and suppress Zhu Yigui. In the 2nd year of Yongzheng after the incident (CE 1724), Lan Tingzhen used "Lan Zhang Xing" as a farming name and established "Lan Xing Zhuang" "Tokken, and enshrined the statue of San Ma from Chaotian Pavilion in Meizhou to build a temple in Dadunzhuang Store (now Sanmin Road), and named it "Lanxing Palace", which is now "Taichung Wanchun Palace." In this war, Lan Dingyuan, who planned military affairs, arranged for his eldest son, Lan Yunjin, to recruit from his hometown (Zhangpu, Zhangzhou, Fujian), and to stay in Aligang (now Ligang) to cultivate a foundation and become a Han Chinese to expand the Pingbei Plain. From the very beginning, Lan Yunjin was also regarded as the "first generation founding ancestor of the Lan family who came to Taiwan to settle in Taiwan." Since its reclamation in Aligang, many high-ranking officials and famous generals came out of the Lan Family in the Qing Dynasty, such as Lan Richong (a member of the Fujian Tongshanying Navy Navy), Lan Yuanmei (Taiwan Town Commander, assisting in encircling Lin Shuangwen), and Lan Jian Yuan (Prime Minister of Ali Gang), Lan Dengwang (Duwei Wu Yi), etc., there were also many gentry merchants during the Japanese rule. They seem to be the most prominent family in Ali Gang, and they have a great influence on local affairs. . In the Jiaqing Daoguang period, when Lan Jianyuan (the nickname Lan Matian) was the 6th grandson of Lan Dingyuan, the Lan family still owned more than 700 pieces of land, and the sugar farms in Aligang and nearby areas were all owned by the Lan family. Later, he also operated sugar mills and rice grains (Fucheng Sugar Co., Ltd.), and his business was successful. In the 12th year of Daoguang (CE 1832), Zhang Bing, Xu Cheng and others rebelled and advocated rebellion. Li Shou, deputy prime minister of Liudui, Fengshan Yuezhuang, took the opportunity to attack and kill more than 70 places in Ali Port, serving as the prime minister of Ali Port. Yuan proposed to build Aligang City as a defense. The east-west span is 2 kilometers and the north-south span is 10.5 kilometers. It is built with Hengchun Chuogu stone. , A two-foot-deep trench was dug in the city. It belongs to a third-level city. It was completed in CE 1835, and there are some gate monuments. In CE 1838, Lan Jianyuan made a donation to build a righteous tomb. According to the "Fengshan County Interview Book", it was recorded that "in the west of Gangzaipu, 42 li northeast of the county, two lixu in the vertical and half a lixu in the horizontal." It is now located in the first cemetery in Guojiang Village.
